William Birkin (G-Virus Monster)

NOTE: You do not see every stage of this boss in a single playthrough. You do not see them in order either. This page has been formatted with each stage in order to show the progression of the virus.

G-Virus Monster (first form)

DESCRIPTION - Less than human, the G-Virus monster still has the appearance of a human, yet a significant portion of his body is mutated. The resemblance of a large eye is evident on his right arm. It stumbles when it walks as though injured or vastly fatigued. The monster pulls off a bar from a handrail to wield as a weapon.

STRATEGY: The swings this monster throws with its pipe has a little power to it. Though the boss itself is sadly slow and easily fooled. Keep an far distance from the G-Virus monster, shooting at it with any long range weapon you have. If he closes in to corner you, simply run by him on his left side. His reaction to swing, as well as the swing itself are too slow to hit a swiftly moving target. If you are injured, then backpedal when he gets close and wait for him to do a powerful downwards swing. At that moment you can shoot him once and backpedal again with little risk involved. For a healthy character, pacing back and forth while firing at the monster after distance is gained is the ideal pattern to pursue.

G-Virus Monster (second form)

DESCRIPTION - Merging into the second phase of transformation. The G-Virus monster is no longer dependent on the support of weapons. Throwing away the pipe it had been wielding, its right hand grows unproportional to its left with razor sharp claws. What is left of a human face becomes a mere patch of skin beneath a new skull.

STRATEGY: Run straight away from this monster as it lands from a leap. Always keep a great distance between you and the monster whenever attacking. Be mindful of this monster's four attacks (1) double swipe where it hook swings at you then backhands (2) single hook swipe (3) if you stand still it will stab straight and/or (4) if you stand still it will hook punch with its left hand. A good procedure to get into the habit of doing is luring the monster to one end of the transportation car. Run past the monster without firing and proceed till you're lined up with the tail of the car. From here, fire at the monster once or twice. Back away from the monster to the other end of the car and fire a couple of times. When the monster gains on you, run by it to the tail end and fire again. Repeat this back and forth pattern. When you're ready to run by this monster, check to see that you have any retreat space left, wait for the monster to swipe, run away from it so that the monster misses, and then quickly bypass the monster as it slowly recovers from its swing. If you get trapped in a corner with no room for retreating then trick the monster into brushing up against something on its right side. From there, make a mad dash "straight" on its left side. If done correctly its swipe will not connect in time. Use good judgment for how much time you have to fire but do not attempt more than three shots at any standing point. If using an automatic weapon, then fire for a couple of seconds. Be careful about the length of bursts you use. Surprisingly, the spark shot is quite an effective weapon here. Not only does it deliver a nasty kick that is unfavorable to the monster, but it also delays the beast. This is great for getting extra shots off. If you can handle the prolonged heat of facing this monster, then any long range weapon will do the job. You will know when the monster is wore down once it begins limping. From this point, it is especially safe to use weak weapons to finish it off with. Since its attacks move unbelievably slow now. Whatever approach you take, try to have extra health on hand for this one. Cause if you're wounded to the point of walking slow. Then running past its swipe and gaining distance will become near impossible.

G-Virus Monster (third form)

DESCRIPTION - Having grown taller, the G-Virus monster now has two long limbs with razor claws, and two smaller arms positioned below the larger ones. The monster's chest throbs as its heart pulses as it glares at you with a menacing look.

STRATEGY: This beast will always walk slowly towards you so long as you stay moderately close to it. If you have plenty of powerful ammo to spare, then go ahead and use it. However, if you're lacking in it then you can still get by using a hand gun since this monster is easy to get around and manipulate. Fire a few shots as it is approaching you. When the monster starts to close in, turn around, walk away from it, wait for it to raise its arm to swing, and then run away instead of walking. This should almost always make him miss. While he is recovering from his powerful swipe, run past him, gain a little bit of distance in between, and fire a few more times. Repeat this pattern if possible. The monster will not grab you and mostly does single swings with either arm. If you move too far away from the G-Virus monster then pay attention to a noise the monster makes. This means the monster had jumped up on the electric transport car. Carefully listen for the monster to make this noise again, it means he is leaping right at you. You can keep running to avoid him jumping near you, but even if you stand still, the monster will not attack immediately after it has landed. Giving you more than enough time to run away. However, it is best to run while it is leaping down, shoot it once as it lands, and then run for more distance to repeat the first recommended pattern. Sometimes when you shoot him he'll automatically leap up on the car. What he does when he jumps back down isn't any different than usual though. Otherwise when you shoot him, he sometimes raises his arms up high, proceeds closer to you in that pose, and then tries to beat-knuckle you with a four hit combo. It is a quick punch, though has a shorter reach from his conventional attack and is still easy to dodge. The monster is also an easier target when it raises its arms as it moves a little slower.

G-Virus Monster (fourth form)

DESCRIPTION - Still in its third form at first sight, the G-Virus monster transitions into another form after it is attacked enough. From there, it will slump to walk on all fours. In this fourth form, its most evident feature is its large mouth and protruding spiky teeth. It also has a snake like head that hovers above the mouth, but doesn't attack with it. The monster then leaps and runs a lot from this point on.

STRATEGY: The G-Virus monster is still in its third form as it drops in front of the elevator entrance. Mostly it will walk after you and do either single or double swings with its massive arms. If powerful ammo is in great abundance, then fire wildly as the monster recovers from dropping down on you from the ceiling. Else skip straight to how you'll need to finish it off. Which is by running in circles, gaining significant distance from the creature, and getting off a few shots as it tries to catch up to you. Keep this up until it finally morphs into its fourth form. This is the point of no return. Take everything you have and waste it all on killing this beast off as you won't need the ammo for anything else after this encounter. Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done to shake this boss off of you. It will charge to bunt, leap off the wall to pounce, climb up on stuff to dive, swipe with a gimp arm, leap to strike, and even chew you up and then spit you out. This enemy is relentless! Turning to run and juking hardly ever dodges anything and will only suffer you attacks without any advantage for counterattacking. Yet this boss is not powerful so it doesn't take much to kill it. Use something that doesn't take a long time to fire or recover from and is powerful when shooting the G-Virus monster. Weapons like the S. machine gun are alright, but aren't as ideal as the G. launcher and magnum. Kamikaze this boss, fire at the boss while looking it right at its ugly face. Inch away backwards when the monster gets too close to avoid it from doing its strongest attack. That would be the one where it chews and tosses you around. If it jumps on an object, then point up and fire at it to get it down. With only a couple of health refills and a decent supply of ammunition, you should easily take out this enemy without first becoming its victim.

G-Virus Monster (final form)

DESCRIPTION - A large blob mass sludges closer to you. It is compiled of many disorganized limbs as it grows more and more at an uncontrollable rate. Long snake-like limbs reach out for you.

STRATEGY: Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. All you need or can do is load up whatever you have left in the way of ammo, point your guns at it, and shoot with extreme hatred for this thing that just....... won't....... die!
